U.S. Marshals in Florida Arrest Iowa County Sex Abuse Suspect

Cedar Rapids, IA – U.S. Marshals in Florida today arrested a man wanted on several sex abuse charges in Iowa. 

Tyler Michael Treadaway, 27, is wanted in Iowa County in connection to multiple charges of sexual abuse (second-degree) of multiple children. 

On April 21 investigators with the Iowa County Sheriff’s Office contacted the Northern Iowa Fugitive Task Force requesting assistance in the location and apprehension of Treadaway. Task force officers began to follow up on leads throughout the Midwest and developed information indicating Treadaway had fled following the reports of abuse. Officials began coordinating with the U.S. Marshals Florida/Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force (FCRFTF). 

Officers with the FCRFTF today narrowed their search to an area in the 4900 block of Lofty Pines Circle West in Jacksonville.  U.S. Marshals approached the suspect shortly after noon and Treadaway eventually surrendered to the officers.  Treadaway was arrested without incident and transported for processing.  He will remain in custody until extradition to Iowa.
